Pancreatic intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm

This early-phase study tests a new radioactive drug, LY4337713, in people with advanced cancers that have high levels of a protein called FAP. The cancers include certain types of ovarian, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, esophageal, stomach, and bile duct cancers. The study aims …

This study tests a surgery called total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) in 30 adults with certain pancreatic tumors who are at high risk for a dangerous leak after standard surgery. The procedure removes the entire pancreas and transplants the insulin-making…

This study compares two types of Whipple surgery for people with pancreatic or nearby cancers: the traditional open surgery and a newer keyhole (laparoscopic) approach. About 90 adults with resectable tumors will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to s…

This trial tests whether giving three treatments together—two medicines and a surgical patch—can lower the risk of major complications after Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and other tumors. The study includes 400 high-risk patients with a small pancreatic duct. If successf…

This study looks at whether combining special PET and MRI scans with blood tests can detect pancreatic cancer early in people who have pancreatic cysts. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery by identifying which cysts are truly dangerous. About 25 adults with high-risk cysts w…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at tiny particles called exosomes and their microRNA content, analyzed by machine learning, to detect pancreatic cancer early. It involves 600 people at high risk due to family history or pancreatic cysts. The goal is to see if th…

This study is testing a new laser-based blood test that uses nanoparticles to detect pancreatic cancer early. Researchers will enroll 400 people, including those with diabetes, pancreatic cysts, or pancreatic cancer, to see if the test can accurately identify cancer. The goal is …

This study tests whether a high-powered imaging technique called ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) can detect tiny, early-stage pancreatic cancers in tissue samples removed during surgery. Researchers will compare OCT images with standard lab analysis and a…

This study aims to develop a non-invasive breath test to detect pancreatic cancer earlier. Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late because early symptoms are vague. The test measures tiny molecules in breath that may signal cancer. Researchers will collect breath and urine samp…

This study is testing an artificial intelligence model called Cyst-AI that uses endoscopic ultrasound images and patient data to help doctors tell apart different types of pancreatic cysts. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Researchers plan to enroll…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) system that analyzes contrast-enhanced CT scans to help diagnose and manage pancreatic diseases. The AI will classify patients into three groups: needing immediate treatment, close monitoring, or routine follow-up. Researchers will…

This study is for people with pancreatic cysts or other pancreas issues. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and scan data from over 1,100 participants to create a large database. The goal is to develop noninvasive tools that predict which cysts may become cancerous, helping …

This study aims to create a simple, minimally invasive test to find pancreatic cancer at an early stage and track how well treatment is working. Researchers will study 700 people with pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, or pancreatic cysts. The goal is to identify biological markers…

This study aims to understand why liver metastases are so deadly in colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Researchers will analyze tumors and blood from 625 participants to find new targets for immune and gene therapies. The goal is to develop better treatments for these hard-to-tre…

The PREDICT study is creating a registry and biospecimen bank for people with pancreatic disease or at high risk for pancreatic cancer. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, urine, and other samples from 1,000 participants to study the causes and biology of the disease. This is…

This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes, which carry proteins and genetic material between cells. Researchers will collect blood and tissue from 181 people with pancreatic cancer or noncancerous pancreatic disease to compare exosome activity. The goal is to understand …

This study looks at whether repeated doses of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (a dye used in MRI scans) affect motor and cognitive functions in healthy adults. About 2076 participants will receive annual imaging and undergo tests over 5 years. The goal is to compare changes in …

This study is looking for new biomarkers to tell which pancreatic cysts (IPMNs) are likely to become cancerous. Researchers will analyze genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle data from 800 patients to develop a risk score. The goal is to help doctors decide who truly needs surgery an…

This study looks back at the records of 2000 people who had surgery for a type of pancreatic cyst called IPMN. The goal is to better understand when surgery is needed and how to predict which cysts might turn into cancer. By comparing different patient outcomes, researchers hope …

This study follows 4,000 adults aged 30 and older who have at least one pancreatic cyst, a common finding on scans. Researchers will track changes over time using surveys and medical records to see which cysts turn into cancer. The goal is to better tell harmless cysts from dange…

This study is looking for biological markers in the blood and tissue that can tell apart harmless pancreatic cysts (IPMN) from those that are likely to turn into pancreatic cancer. Researchers will follow 3,600 patients with IPMN across four Italian hospitals, collecting blood sa…
